ICBAS President’s Message

Greetings!

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the International College of Beauty Arts And Sciences (ICBAS).

Our overriding purpose here at ICBAS is to provide our students with the finest education available within the beauty industry, while at the same time offering a nurturing environment. With that in mind, we hire only top-notch, academically- and professionally-trained instructors who teach the latest techniques and advancements as they unfold in the beauty industry. Our campus provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and all of the best available tools to ensure that our graduates not only succeed at this, their chosen profession, but that they have the most enjoyable experience possible while they study and work to attain their goals.

As you might guess from the name of our school, we are, indeed, an international campus, with multi-lingual instructors. ICBAS goes above and beyond the minimum requirements of the average beauty school. We invite Guest Speakers and Instructors from Europe and around the world to expand the knowledge and skills of our students, usually on a monthly basis. You will be exposed to more than just that which is contained in your books – and it will include international, as well as American, talent and information, which will ultimately enhance your own standing in the beauty industry.

I firmly believe that as your school principal, it is my responsibility to monitor your progress in order to help you overcome any possible weaknesses, as well as recognizing your strengths as they emerge. Therefore, we test all of our students on a weekly basis. This helps us to help you, as you pass various exams and proceed to the next level. Our curriculum is approved by the State Board of Cosmetology and we adhere strictly to its rules and regulations.

As a student at ICBAS, you will have full access to our library, which offers books, videos and more, so that you may expand your knowledge on your own, if you so choose (and we hope you will!).

During your training, you will receive on-going preparation for the State Board exams, as well as assistance with job placement upon graduation, when you are ready to spread your wings and fly. We will be happy to provide you with post-graduate training in additional courses, or brush-ups, should you so desire and our school counselors will be available to assist you when you land your first job or start you own business.

In other words, whatever it takes to help you succeed, we will be here for you.

We look forward to meeting you and to guiding you each step of the way to your new and exciting career in this fascinating world of beauty.

Kindest regards,

Sonia Boghosian
President

What do our students say

The instructors were very skilled, comfortable and easy to work with, and very helpful with the bookwork and tests. ICBAS employees are very talented and caring. They take the time to teach you all of the ins and outs of your trade. They are very patient and understanding with respect to your personal life. They also take the time to listen to your problems on practical work and then show you the right way to do the procedure. I will miss them all.

One big thing I have learned while attending ICBAS is that everyone is there to support you...the staff, students and clients. The back bone of my training was "state board preparation" classes, which put me at ease knowing that I will pass the state board test, since I am practicing it on a daily basis. I love being able to say that I love my College! I feel that I have learned so much and I know that I will be great going on to do what I love to do the most, "to be a hair stylist"

Stella Rosa

The atmosphere and my fellow students were the best part of coming to school. All of the students get along and enjoy each other. Lifelong friendships have undoubtedly been made here.

Tatev Arakelyan

As soon as I completed the tour, I was excited about starting my training. There's no doubt in my mind that I made the right decision. I've chosen the best education I can get and I'll be able to be in a focused career that I can love for the rest of my life. Thanks to my teacher and school staff for getting me where I want it to be.

Brian Curtis

My instructor was very patient and kind. The beauty school is wonderful and I will recommend to anyone.

Judit A.

I think that ICBAS has the best instructors and methods of teaching us. I do think a good idea in the basics class is taking pictures of your work. Looking back, I wish that I would have done that!

Janet Torosian

I absolutely feel like I have a new family! There isn't anything about the school's facility, staff, or education that I would change.

Deborah J.

Instructors are more than willing to teach you all that you are able to learn. There is always someone who you can talk toâ€¦ about anything! ICBAS is an awesome school to learn about hair, skin, and nails. The staff is not only staff, but they become your friends as well. I think the school is great.

Jason M.

I was treated as an adult and I respected that. I liked the printed review packets, which were extremely helpful. I studied from them and made good grades! I honestly think I am very well prepared for my state board exam!

Melanie R.

I enrolled in ICBAS because I received inadequate information from other schools. ICBAS was smaller and more personable. I also received immediate information rather than being given the run-around. Instructors are very qualified and I loved the fact that they all had so many years of experience in their field. They were a well-qualified staff! I feel like I received a great education, better than any other local school. Thanks so much for putting up with me!

Andrea S.

I just want to say thank you to all of ICBAS staff, including the Directors. Thank you!

Nancy R

I think the school is an excellent one. I am so pleased with everything and everyone! They will always be a part of my life.

Tamara W.

I think the school is great. They have amazing instructors who are full of knowledge and professionalism. I will recommend this school in the years to come.

ICBAS' campus is so open and airy. In the beginning the bookwork was difficult, but once you get used to the hustle and bustle --- which is what you get in the real world â€“ then you can shut out the distractions and continue work! I would recommend it to others. It is a very pleasant atmosphere and I have benefited greatly from the knowledge I've gained here.

Veronica B.

From the first day I stepped foot into ICBAS, I felt my world shift. Literally. The energy I felt each time I visited, throughout the interview and registration process, was palpable. It's an energy I continue to feel each day when I come to school. Without exception, every instructor has been and continues to be a mentor in one area or another. That support has helped me gain confidence, knowledge and the drive to continue learning. The school's bilingual teachers are great assets to those students who speak Armenian, Persian, or Spanish.

I have to thank all of my marvelous instructors that took the time to walk me through things when I needed help and answer my questions (and we all know I ask a lot of them). I started at ICBAS with the basics, moved into intermediate and worked my way into advanced. It has been one amazing journey and I feel confident that I have chosen a carrier that I can depend on for the rest of my life

Mina Tahmaspi

If I had to, I would choose this school all over again!

Melinda Vasquez

I enjoyed my time here. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The instructors were awesome! I loved all of the hands-on experience. There was no pressure or stress to get things done. I was able to work at my own pace.
